  You're an Energy Champion

  You know exactly what makes you feel good and what drains your energy and you learned to give yourself exactly what you need in that moment.You’ve probably experienced burn-out or high stress in a previous career and you’ve created your own business exactly because you want to finally do things your way and have the flexibility and freedom to take great care of yourself. You have healthy routines to eat well, move your body, spend time with your loved ones, breathwork, tapping, meditation just to name a few and you set amazing boundaries around them because these practices are not negotiable in your schedule. You are also familiar with your mental health and you’re aware that when you’re feeling frustrated or confused you have the perfect tools to guide you back into feeling neutral and stable so that you can face the challenges that your business throws at you. However your focus on energy could be blocking your next clients to come to you…This is what may be missing in your business right now: 1. A CLEAR INTUITIVE PLANEnergetics are absolutely key to tap into this new version of yourself so that you’re a match for the business you desire and you’re feeling the wonderful effects of these practices in your lives, however having a solid strategy is also AS important!A little rant about the industry ….Nowadays the pendulum has swung from a very masculine approach to business to a completely feminine one in which there seem to be no place for a plan but what the energy “influencers” may not tell you it’s that they do have a team behind the scenes implementing a very clear strategy while they’re vacationing and dancing in their IG stories. When this happens you may be throwing too many offers at your audience riding on your current enthusiasm and not letting them play out in a way that really supports their needs and your business longevity. BOTH things really matter and this may be the reason you’re struggling to attract new clients, you’re focusing mostly on your energy but you’re not sure about what’s the best strategy to take to call in new amazing clients ready to buy from you.How could you start supporting your intuitive plan better right now?Start with a simple plan : What’s the most direct way clients can discover you and buy from you? Can you create a free call? A challenge? Which platform do you enjoy using? And then pick one thing and stick to that for at least 90 days.Keep focused on one strategy at the time : It’s so easy when you have lots of energy to jump at any new idea and feel like it’s The One and then getting demotivated and switching to a new plan the week after. Stay focused on one strategy and play it out and use your great energy skills to bring in your enthusiasm to what’s in front of you. Create systems and processes. I know this may sound super boring but it’s not because it’ll create a masculine structure as a foundation of your business which will allow you to be creative and in the flow while having more consistent results. 2. TAKE ALIGNED AND PURPOSEFUL ACTIONAnother thing I noticed for Energy Champions is that because they’re so focused on taking care of their energy they don’t take consistent action because they feel they should only act when feeling great... (and in that case they’d go back to their energy work!)While I believe that the energy behind your actions it’s huge, being a business owner means taking action consistently, to create a sense of trust with your audience and sometimes it means taking action even when you don’t feel great.Because the compound effect of imperfect actions it’s much greater than only taking big shiny actions occasionally. And let’s be honest, it also takes the pressure off from always feeling like the best version of yourself because we’re all humans after all. How could you start supporting your purpose and action better right now?Remember your WHY, what made you start this business in the first place? What’s the contribution you want to give to the world? Having this vision clear will help you reignite your motivation and focus on what matters the most to move the needle forward in that direction. After determining your simple strategy above, a great way to improve your execution it’s to break that plan into small bite-size tasks which are intentional and powerful and build a habit around them. If you know for example that your morning meditation and yoga is non-negotiable, decide to stack the new habit on top of it of promoting your free call on social media and fuel that energy into your promotion.

  You're a Purpose Master

  You’re so clear of the biggest impact you want to have on the world and that’s amazing! You know that this business is aligned with your biggest WHY and you find it easy to reconnect your energy to this vision. Every time you’re lacking motivation you go back to this purpose and that fills you up with drive and potential because you know deep in your heart that what you’re offering is serving people to have a better life experience.However your focus on purpose could be blocking your next clients to come to you…This is what may be missing in your business right now:1. SET A CLEAR INTUITIVE PLANYou’re a visionary and you can clearly see the big impact but as a consequence you may find it harder to translate that vision into a strategy that can take you from where you’re now to that bigger goal.Focusing on the details it’s not necessarily your favourite activity because you don’t thrive when focusing on a lot of moving pieces and you’re impatient in seeing that bigger vision become real.Every time you focus on the small stuff you get frustrated because you cannot see how that will turn into a big change for the world.However this may be exactly what’s missing for you because you cannot imagine to talk on a stage before you’re able to talk to a bunch of individuals first and you cannot sell millions of products before being able to sell one.How could you start supporting your intuitive plan better right now?What’s the easiest first step you can take to start sharing your vision with others? Is it supporting people 1:1? Is it interviewing other thought leaders? Is it building an income quickly so you’re able to sustain the business? Whatever it is, focus on that first step and build your strategy for the next 3-6 months around that. Hire help to get clear on what the next best steps could look like for you, this is what a business coach would help you to do and keep you accountable on following those steps when you’re getting impatient and frustrated. 2. START TAKING ACTION AND MANAGE YOUR ENERGYAnother aspect I notice in Purpose-Masters clients is that they may be spending more time dreaming up about their vision and not enough time taking action on it.And because you’re a big hearted entrepreneur whose main goal it’s to help others and change the world, you may have a hard-time charging well for your skills because you want everyone to benefit from what you offer!That’s why having a clear plan of action and working on your mindset and taking care of your nervous system are crucial for you and they may be holding you back from your next client.How could you start supporting your action plan and energy better right now?Break down your strategy into tiny steps and create habits to execute on them. This step may feel a bit boring for you because daily habits don’t translate in your mind into big results but tons of research demonstrates how the biggest change in business happens through bite-size steps which are repeated consistently.Delegate the execution of repetitive tasks to a team. As I was mentioning above you thrive in your big vision but you may find it hard to take small consistent actions so a great aid is hiring someone who thrives in details and taking action so you can focus on your zone of genius.When I talk about energy I mean both the physical and mental resources needed to be the best version of yourself. In your case this will mean doing mindset work to create positive beliefs that will support you in selling and running a business vs. an expensive hobby as well as self-care practices that help you feel strong and vibrant and show up daily for the business.

  You're an Action-Taker

  You thrive when you’re executing in your business whether it’s serving clients or creating powerful marketing materials or collaborating with other business owners. You don’t shy away from the hustle and you put in the long-hours because you truly love what you do and your drive is endless. However your hyper focus on action could be blocking your next clients to come to you...This is what may be missing in your business right now:1. TAKE CARE OF YOUR ENERGYWhat I often observe with action-takers like you is that you may be burning the candle at both ends because you’re so focused on doing that you find it difficult to recharge your batteries and create a work-life balance. You probably come from a past of hustling in your career and that has taken you to where you wanted to be so far so you cannot imagine how slowing down and taking better care of yourself could ever work out for you. But let me tell you, this is exactly why you’re not able to call in new clients in your business.You’re exhausted and have too much on your plate and you may even unconsciously reject a new person coming into your space right now because you’re at full capacity energetically. At the same time you are afraid that If you stop rolling your wheels for a while your business will crumble down and this perspective is terrifying. But luckily you can do things differently and have the exact results you desire and more!How could you start supporting your energy better right now?Schedule in some pockets of time every week for the things that make you feel alive and energised and treat them as non-negotiables like exercising in the morning, coffee-breaks with a friend for breakfast or in the evening, white space to just be on the couch...Start delegating more to a team so you don’t have to execute on everything and can create space to embody the CEO role in your business.Busy doesn’t mean being effective. Only keep on your plate what actually moves the needle forward and remove the rest.2. GET CLEAR ON STRATEGY AND PURPOSEAnother aspect I noticed in action-takers it’s that they’re so busy executing that sometimes they forget why they’re doing what they do.So taking a step back from doing and actually reviewing your current plan and vision is essential in moving in the right direction otherwise you may be spinning your wheels focusing on what seems “urgent” but you miss what really matters for your business.How could you be supporting your strategy and purpose better? Go back to your WHY, what’s the biggest motivation behind running your business? Does it take you closer to the long-term vision you have to impact the world with your gifts? What’s your business plan for the next 6-months to 1-year? You don’t need all the details but it’s important to know where you’re heading towards in your business so that you can select the exact actions needed to take you there and you can free up your plate of “accessory” tasks that are not a priority right now.

  You're an Intuitive Planner

  You thrive when planning and strategizing and love learning new and effective ways to run your business and the possibilities they can open up for you.You’ve probably also downloaded lots of freebies, attended webinars and got curious about what the leaders in your industry are doing so you’ve invested quite a lot of money and time diving into all the online resources you could find.You feel a sense of excitement when you see a book talking about entrepreneurship and how it could transform your business and you have written multiple business plans or 6-months projections where you’ve written down in detail all the offers you want to sell, how many clients you desire and the income you want.You’ve got plenty of ideas and love following your intuition about what to create next. However your focus on intuitive planning could be blocking your next clients to come to you…This is what may be missing in your business right now: 1. TAKING ACTIONYou’re a high-achiever and love to do things “perfectly” and that’s why you get lost in shiny objects looking for the perfect strategy to implement in your business.You think a lot about all these options available in the online space and you feel like you’re doing so much in the business, but truth is, you’re “thinking” about it 24/7 but not executing much.When you go back looking at what you’ve actually done this week you realise there wasn’t much going on on the “front-end” compared to what was going on inside of your head. As a consequence new potential clients do not even know you exist and how they can buy from you!How could you start supporting your actions better right now?Track the time you are taking action in the business : how many hours are you working on which task? How much has been visible on the outside to your audience? This will give you a clear idea of what’s been happening on a consistent basis.Cut out the noise : unfollow your competitors and unsubscribe from all the newsletter and make the decision to focus on your lane for an extended period of time ( 90 days it’s a good deadline) so you can use your time to execute on what you’ve learned.Pick a strategy and stick to it for 90 days : Any strategy works If you work it! You may have given up in the past on a strategy because it didn’t immediately work but you didn’t give it enough time to play out and really understand which parts of it were working and which ones weren’t. Sticking to a strategy will give you so much data to really evaluate the next best steps to take. 2. CHECK-IN WITH YOUR PURPOSE AND ENERGYAnother aspect I notice for intuitive planners is that they may feel disconnected from their sense of purpose and their energy may also be draining out.Strategizing and planning takes energy and when we don’t see the results we want it’ll feel very discouraging because it feels like we’re doing so much and we cannot figure out what’s wrong.As a consequence we stop believing in ourselves and our project altogether which will affect even more our capacity of attracting new clients.How could you start supporting your purpose and energy better right now?Remember your WHY, what made you start this business in the first place? What’s the contribution you want to give to the world? Having this vision clear will help you reignite your motivation and focus on what matters the most to move the needle forward in that direction.Your magnetism really depends on the energy behind your business and what helps you tap into your best version of yourself, this will look differently for anyone and it’s about creating a toolbox of practices to step back into your body ( exercise, rest, self-care moments) as well as the mental support to feel resilient and believing what you want is possible!
